Located just 1km from Haputale Station, this private room in our family home is perfect for those looking for a home away from home in the Haputale mountains.

We, mother and daughters, were meant to spend 3 nights in Haputale, and ended up staying only 2 nights. + Amazing view from the room Central location Host was quite nice - There were a lot too many animals for us. Something around 16 dogs and 3 cats, some of them can come and go freely in the house. We felt like we could not move around the place freely because of them. I am sorry to write such a review, but we were a bit disappointed with our stay as there were so many good comments for the place.

We really like to thank Shamalie, the aunt, who stayed in the house with al the lovely cats (even a kitten!!) And the dogs and made us feel at home. She made the best food we had in sri lanka until now. The room was nice and clean, just like the bathroom and the view is just amazing. It's a cosy house and the cats and dogs walk in and around the house, which was totally fine with us and was what we expected. The animals are sweet and don't bark at night. And Shamalie was really helpfull!! She helped us organise trips or called her tuktuk contacts for us. We stayed here for 3 nights and really recommend the place! Thanks again Shamalie and say hi to Tristan and Nimal for us.

StevenJuly 2016

The house was large and so was the room. Wonderful people! Aunt Shanti, Shamalie and her adoreable son Tristan, and also the grandmother. I had two queen size bed just for me, and the room was quite nice and comfortable, and the dinner was satisfying. The bathroom is clean and large, medium hot water, excellent flush. However, the house is a bit away from the center and you would need short tuktuk ride to reach there. Also put in mind the house has many dogs and cats, they sometime wander inside the house. I was okay with that.

YoudahmDecember 2015

It was a truly lovely place to stay! The owner of the place is very friendly and helpful. She also cooked us a great Sri Lankan dinner. There are lots of dogs and cats running around the area but they are not dangerous or noisy. So definitely will stay here again!

NiekJuly 2016

it was a great experience staying in Tharindu's place. He wasn't there, but his aunt Sharmelia (I hope I spelll it correctly) was a great and interesting host who cooks delicious food. Although I am a little bit scared of dogs she could make me feel safe :-) In the beginning I had stomach problems, but aunder the great care of his aunt I could recover soon... :-) Unfortunately it was raining heavily during my stay, so I couldn't do as much as I had planned. Honestly it made me feel a little bit uncomfortable, that in some parts of the house the rain was dropping in, but hopefully not in the room, where I was staying... Nevertheless it is a marvelous place with an awsoome view (if there is no mist) to the valley and mountains... Thank you for giving this opportunity also to me and your aunt!

Annegret May 2016

A short but sweet stay! When we first met Shamalie she was searching for one of her cheeky dogs who had escaped so it was a bit chaotic in the beginning but we settled shortly after and felt very welcomed by Shamalie, her rescue dogs and cats. Her family joined the day after and was just as lovely and kind as her. At Shamalie’s place you not only have your own cozy room with a beautiful view of Haputale’s valleys and hills, but also your own well-looked after bathroom and lounge. A fantastic, filling and very fair priced dinner is served in the family’s living room. Shamalie is a great cook – still thinking of the delicious pumpkin and eggplant curry she made! It really was one of our favourite stays in Sri Lanka and we miss Puppy, Lucy and all the other 12 dogs so much and can’t stop thinking about little kitten. We can see how some people might find the animal ratio a little too high, for dog lovers though, it’s heaven on earth! ;) PS: Shamalie, if you read this we named the little kitten „Tinkerbell“ because of her pointy nose. ;) We hope you will introduce her to your future guest with that name. ;P And keep up the good work!

LauraJuly 2016

Tharindu was very helpful even though he wasnt in Haputale at the time of our stay. His aunty and her lovely son were at the house and welcomed us very friendly. For dinner she cooked one of the best meals for us and arranged a driver for us to go to Worlds End the next day. The room has a fantastic view. It was clean and we had our own bathroom. To stay with Tharindus aunty you shouldn't have a problem with dogs and cats. There are 14 rescued dogs and two cats running around. They are all friendly and so cute. We had a good time in Haputale and would stay again if we come back

AnnaJune 2016

It was just wonderful. I had a really great stay with shameli, her mother and her little son. She was cooking great food, helping me with laundry and gave me aloe vera for my sunburn. Moreover, the view from the room is stunning and the bed is quite comfortable. I think it's the best accommodation you find in haputale. Will come again :) Sthuthi and passe hambemu.

We spend very enjoyable two days with your family, here in Maskeliya. the place was clean and the food was delicious! The surroundings are beautiful, and great for walking around. We felt very welcomed and we loved chatting with the oldest kids, Chamod and Jenny, who spoke great english.

TerezaSeptember 2016

This accomodation is an experience itself! If you want to know real Sri Lanka people go there and meet a wonderful family! They speak good English, are very pleasant, generous and welcoming. The food is amazing and good price. Besides all that the father will arrange trips and tuk tuk drives if you want to. And it is sourrounded by tea plantages, which is very beautiful. HIGHLY RECOMMANDED! :)

LeaSeptember 2016

We had a wonderful stay at the Mai Inn. Ananda and Lassanthi are great hosts and provide delicious local food. the room is comfortable with en suite bathroom and plentiful hot water. This is an ideal base from which to explore this part of the beautiful hill country of Sri Lanka and for the trek up Adam's Peak. For value for money, this is amongst the best we found in Sri Lanka.

MartaAugust 2016

Basic room, but hot water in the bathroom ! Nice location in the middle of tea plantations at 30 mins tuk tuk ride from the adam's peak. We really much enjoyed being with this really nice family ! Food was awesome !! And all transportations and others things can be arrange on site ! Dont hesitate !

FannyAugust 2016

This place is perfect if you're climbing Adam's Peak and need a simple accommodation for the night before. The family helped us get a tuk tuk to the trailhead and they offered dinner and breakfast (very affordable) and tea (free!). We enjoyed getting to know them and the other guests. Hot water and wifi were a little spotty for us but everyone was really helpful and we felt right at home!

MelissaNovember 2014

Mr and Mrs Tennakoon welcomed me into their home with grace. I was looked after from arrival to departure by gracious hosts offering warm hospitality. I appreciated being encouraged to feel at home, to enjoy the garden, to swim in the pool, to relax on my balcony or read by the fishpond. I entered their oasis and I appreciated the retreat this garden of lush foliage offered from the busy streets of Kandy during Perahera. Breakfast was a dream, sitting on their peaceful terrace, admiring plants and decorated tiles, learning a lot from listening to Mr Tennakoon's advice on where to go and what to see. I followed his advice and treated myself to the glories of the Temple and the magnificence of the Botanical Gardens. Truly a privilege to experience such welcoming hospitality and to drink in the peace of their bountiful garden. It's a treat to stay here!

The place was as described. Champ's mom welcomed with tea and his dad got us a bit more later. We were offered western breakfast and had a good chat over breakfast. We got some advice for the days sight seeing and when we were back he was very helpful to get us going even though we checked out early. The pool was very inviting but didn't get it as it was raining. All in all we got a warm Kandyan welcome from Champs folks.

VijayDecember 2014

We stayed at the Tennakoons' homestay during our honeymoon and it was a real highlight of our trip. The tropical garden with the beautiful pool provided an amazing oasis to relax in in the middle of busy Kandy. Our hosts provided great breakfasts and were extremely friendly and helpful. They even packed us off at the end of our stay with gifts and fresh mangoes and bananas from their garden. Highly recommend staying here.

HenriettaAugust 2015

This is the most charming home stay! The welcome from Champ's father could not have been more warm or genuine. The room is very cosy, with a lovely little balcony where we sat sipping tea. The breakfast was excellent, and we were given very helpful information about the local area and onward travel options. I only wish we could have stayed longer. Many, many thanks!

ClaraApril 2016

Lovely home and great hosts that made our 3 days in Kandy feel extra special. We were well taken care of by mushy (champ's dad) who went out of his way to help us with planning and booking transport around town, bargaining with with drivers and recommending food and sightseeing places (if you're thinking of staying here, please ask him about his favourite place for hoppers)! Also worth a mention are the awesome homemade breakfasts that greeted us every morning. Transport-wise, the public bus stops just across the road and takes you right into town for less than 20 rupees. All in all, a great experience! Highly recommended.

Duminda was really helpful and kind. He arranged amazing safari for us - price was low, the driver was really nice guy who new the park well ( He could spot tiny lizard from like mile away, so we didn't miss anything important on the way) Room was nice and clean with comfortable beds, food simple but good. We stayed only one day, but it was great experience. Thank you!

RadekNovember 2015

The place is exactly what I expected. Although the man greeting us at arrival did not speak English, someone soon arrived to greet me and make me feel comfortable. The room is nice and clean. I was able to join a group of people staying there for a safari in the afternoon organised by the owner,excellent experience. Evening dinner and breakfast can be ordered there. Very goog stay

We had a wonderful experience at Walawa Cottage. The meals cooked for us were very enjoyable, highly recommend. The safari that was arranged for us was incredible! Leel, our driver, was so knowledgable and took us to the best spots. We had so many close encounters with elephants. Definitely recommend the cottage and safari. Thank you for a great stay.

MollySeptember 2016

Duminda was fanatastic! We only booked a few hours prior to arriving and although he was not expecting us, a few quick phonecalls and a sumptuous home cooked feast arrived and our safari all organised for the morning. Yes it is true, his mum's rice and curry is one of the best we had! The rooms are simple and clean and Duminda was very easy to communicate with and very genuine. We wish him and his family very well. It was a lovely experience.

Jacqueline April 2016

We've had a pleasend stay at Walawa Cottage. Rooms were very clean, staff friendly, food (dinner & breakfast) outstanding. We've booked a Safari with Duminda just a few days before arrival. Leel, our guide, had an enourmous knowledge about good spots, animals and plants in the National Park. It was such a perfect trip! Leel also arranged a car with a driver for us, since we headed on to Arugam Bay the next day. He haggled out a good price for us. In conclusion, we highly recommend Walawa Cottage and the Safari.

It was really really nice there. The host was so friendly. He orginzed a safaria for us. The driver was pretty good. The rooms are clean and the diner was Also great. He orginzed a driver for us too. Would defenetly recommend this host.

Loved the location but sadly could not take advantage of it because it rained, which also led to us not having power for a few hours in the night/early morning. Staff were quick to act when they found out and switched on generator. A little short on hot water for 6 people, but have been advised by staff that the host is aware of the issue and is taking steps to rectify. Staff very friendly and helpful. Overall a pleasant experience.

ChrishanthiMarch 2016

Great location and Gemanu was very warm and welcoming. We had an amazing time here. Gemanu cooked us amazing meals exactly as per our requests. Would definitely recommend this place. While here we climbed the Adams peak to watch the sunrise. This was the hardest trek we have done so far and we have done quite a few.

Relax after the beautiful climb with a home-cooked meal, or a cup of tea on the balcony. The children can show you the river or you can visit Tea Leaf Vision, a non-profit school that teaches English. Spend some time volunteering at the school!
*** If this listing is booked, please check our 3 other listings

Mai Inn is opposite of Tea Leaf Vision, a school that helps young adults from the tea estates learn English so they can get better paying jobs. If you'd like, spend a day or week volunteering at the school.
We can also help arrange a tea picking experience, a tour of tea plantation life, a cooking lesson, or a visit to some amazing natural sites -- including waterfalls or Adams Peak.
The family of Mai Inn will give you as much space as you want, or our English-speaking children would love to show you around!

Mai Inn is the most authentic experience we had in Sri Lanka. Ananda and family were always up for a chat and we were able to share a lot on life. Bear in mind that the place is quite remote, and that the ride to Adam's Peak was actually not included. I would warmly recommend the place (simple and clean), and the food was abundant and super tasty. Massive thank you to the family.

We were two adults and two children who stayed at Mai Inn. It is the best palce we haved stayed in Sri Lanka! The family and there children are the best hostes! Very helpfull, kind and are very interested in that giving you a great experience! We should have stayed for one night, but chose to stay two nights! Ananda's kids are so freindly and played a lot with our children. The rooms are very clean and nice. We got meals in the morning and the eavning for a small amount, and it were very good and nice to taste real Sri Lanka food. We would like to thank the family for a nice stay and we would defenetly come back to visit the family next time we come to Sri Lanka!! All the best to you and your four kids!

OlesyaNovember 2016

Our stay at Mai Inn with Ananda and his family was spectacular. We traveled through Sri Lanka and found no better place to call our home away from home. The rooms are all a good size and very clean, bathrooms are also nice with western plumbing. We enjoyed every morning sitting on the shared balcony and reading then heading downstairs for breakfast prepared by Ananda's wife. She would always ask what we wanted for breakfast the night before and is an amazing cook. Sri Lankan food doesn't get more authentic than this. Everyone in the family can communicate well in english, but Jenny (Ananda's daughter) is fluent- almost sounding American! Whatever you are looking to do, they can help. If there's anything you need, you can ask and they will help. Need a ride to Adam's peak? They can arrange it. Want to travel on a bus to waterfalls or tea plantations or a nearby town? They can demystify the crazy buses for you. Need help planning the rest of your trip? They will find someone to help!

The food, cooked by Anandas wife was fabulouse!!! She even gave us cookinglessons in the evening. We really recommend this place!

Highly recommend! Very friendly, informative and sympathetic family. The food was more than perfect, best we had in three weeks in Sri Lanka. All the best for you all and we hope to come back once... (with many children :) Julian & Nuria

The place is close to Central Kandy, only 15 min. away from the Temple of the Tooth and market area. You’ll love this place because of the amazing host family that will greet you and take very good care of you every step of the way, in addition to the beautiful outdoor space (forest-like feeling, with mango and avocado trees) .

Your private room is equipped with a dresser and mosquito net, as well as 2 chairs and a mirror. There's a TV in the living room and a big dining table, where all your delicious, home-cooked meals will be served (breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in the price). The meal times are flexible, so you can discuss this in detail with the family upon arrival.
The house is located on a beautiful side street, off the beaten path, with few neighbors around, which makes it a quiet and relaxing place. It's surrounded by beautiful trees and the lake is just a few steps away as well. To top it off, right next door you can be treated to a traditional Sri Lankan massage, owned and operated by the family's uncle, with a discount for visitors. It's a haven of peacefulness and serenity! The family has hosted many volunteers before, so they are used to having guests and are extremely charming and welcoming! Their little Son, Shenul, loves company, but you can get as much privacy as you want, of course, which will be respected 100%.
You can use any of the space in and around the house. The family would be more than happy to help you plan trips, give suggestions and help you with anything else you need throughout your stay. There's no specific curfew, but ideally the family likes to lock their doors between 10-11pm.
The family will be staying in the house at the same time as you, but it is your choice how much or how little interaction you want to partake in. The family will respect your wishes, but is always available and happy to help and converse.

There's a local store at the top of the road, which sells basic items, and the father of the family can, if requested, take you on his motorbike to other places close by, if wished for. Tuk-tuks are available at any given time throughout the day on the main road and are easy to hail.
The house is easy to reach by tuk-tuk and bus- there's a bus stop at the top of the road, only minutes away from the house. It's a very safe area and close to all major attractions. The family can help you arrange a tuk-tuk or private car, if needed. It's approximately 3 hours from the major airport in Colombo. The train station is about 20 minutes by tuk-tuk and so is the big mall, where you can get groceries, modern merchandise and toiletries.

My girlfriend and I recently stayed at Bernard's house for 1 night, sadly it wasn't for longer. Bernard picked us up a short distance away as our tuk tuk driver was lost. We also had the pleasure of a lift to the train station the next morning. Bernard and his wife, Huma are both lovely, friendly and very helpful. Our room was great, with a nice seating area outside and the well documented fine view of the surrounding hills. We even had a kitchen area with sink and dual gas hob, sadly we had no time to make use of it. However, we were lucky enough to enjoy the sumptuous breakfast provided. An excellent spread of Sri Lankan delights was laid before us, and we made a fair attempt at polishing it off. It was too delicious not to. Bernard and his family are kind, open and great to talk to. We hope to see them again in future, just for a bit longer.

Bernard is an amazing hoster!He and his family gave us such great treatment that maked us feel like home.The family helped us plan our trip,arranged driver(Ranjith is really good)for us,took us around the town,patiently answered our numerous questions and helped us solving problems when we were in trouble.He is wise and respectable,we learned a lot about the country during our stay.And it must be emphasized that the breakfast was brilliant!We did enjoy the delicious local meals here.If we have a chance to travel to Kandy again,we will undoubtedly stay here.Strongly recommend!

We had a great time at Bernards place! It is located very close to town but it has the feeling and view of a green quiet oasis! Bernard has a big heart and knows everything about the area and helps you out with local tipps and tricks if you ask him - and also about Buddhism if you are interested. He even joined us to visit a temple and gave us an interesting perspective of history and culture. Bernard and his wife are very hospitable, the breakfast offers everything from tasty local to international and the facilities are nice and clean. We would definitely come back and can warmly recommend the place with the nice mountain view in the heart of Kandy!

We were so fortunate to have stayed with Bernard and Uma at Great View. The place is great with the most amazing views, the breakfast is delicious every day, but most of all it was a wonderful experience for us as we got to meet these wonderful people and some of their family. Their warmth and generosity is something we will never forget and feel that we now have special friends in Kandy. You could not wish to stay in a better place.

Bernard has to one of the nicest guys in Sri Lanka! He and his lovely wife picked us up from the train station, made us some tea, welcomed us into their home and gave us great information for us to enjoy Kandy. Breakfast was homemade and tasted amazing, was feeling full for hours! The room we stayed in was really lovely and would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Kandy. Nice and easy walk to the centre of town and easy to direct Tuk Tuks back to the apartment. No complaints at all. Bernard even arranged for someone to drive us to our hotel in Sigirya for a very reasonable price

We stayed two nights in Kandy with Bernard. We felt so comfortable from the very first minute. The house is near to the city, there are two apartments, Bernard let us choose in which we liked to move in. Both apartments are very big, beautiful and luxurious. The breakfast was so delicious and diversified. Bernard and his wife showed us the typical Sri Lankan food and explained a lot. During our stay we learned a lot from Bernard about the country and the people. Being a tourist guide for years, Bernard knows everything about Sri Lanka! His English is excellent and he takes the time to communicate with his guests. He also accompanied us to a ceremony at the temple of the tooth, an impressive experience. We recommend this accommodation absolutely. Thank you again for hosting, it was nice to meet you!

DanielOctober 2015

Bernard and his wife Uma were both very warm and welcoming. Bernard kindly picked us up from the station and took us on a quick orientation of Kandy town in the car before taking us back to the apartment. Every morning we enjoyed long chats over a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast in their beautiful home. They were both very helpful with advice about what to do and where to eat in kandy (including drawing maps and writing down any names and phone numbers). They also happily arranged transport for us to Sri Pada and an Ayurvedic treatment with a local doctor which the family go to themselves. As advertised, the property is nestled into the hillside above Kandy and has incredible views over the valley. It is a walkable distance from the centre of town but a tuktuk only cost about rs.150/ so it was a great spot from which to explore the Kandy area. It was also next door to a supermarket and a delicious little eatery called the Vinci Caterers - the best egg hoppers in town! The apartment itself was exactly as described and clean. We had the use of a small garden area where we were lucky enough to see a troop of monkeys pass through one morning! We instantly felt at home here and would love to come back at some point in the future. We would definitely recommend Bernard and his apartment to anyone visiting Kandy. Especially however, if you don't know much about the area as Bernard's knowledge, connections and experience in the hospitality industry means you will truly make the most out of your visit.

Sam and her daughter are really really Nice and helpful. The guesthouse is perfect and so clean.good location. It was a pleasure to meet you.

JFMarch 2016

Sam and his whole family (especially his daughter - Tasha) were very friendly and made us feel like at home. Our room was simple, but clean with new bathroom and a lot of hot water (you will be really greatful for that, I guarantee it :) ) Another highlight of our stay was the food! Breakfast, lunch and dinner were always amazing! We can honestly highly recommend to stay at this place and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Nuwara Elyia. (Ask Sam to take you to Horton plains and to the tea factory - worth every rupie).

StepanDecember 2015

Excellent and warming welcome!! (they prepared the breakfast for us at 5 am before our departure to Hortons plains). Thanks you! Great localization also. BUT The room has a very basic comfort, the bathroom is not very convenient (shower and toilets not separated ). It was also cold in the room. In conclusion it's a place for a short stay not for a long one.

PaulineJanuary 2016

A really nice stay in this residence. Andrews is really a nice guy who helps us a lot while his daughter is quite nice who provides great service for us under her serious cough. Definitely, we'll choose his residence in next travel to Sri Lanka. A little far from the main road.

WinstomFebruary 2016

Unfortunatly we couldn't make it in time to this place due to traffic problems, so we didn't visit this place. Still, Sam was still very kind and considerate

Our stay at Andrews hostel was wonderful! Sam and his daughter were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They helped us arrange a trip to Horton plans and a visit to the nearby tea plantation. The hostel is a short walk from the main art of town, making it a touch quieter but still really accessible. I'd definitely recommend staying here!

My place is close to Pinnawala Elephant orphanage and Kithulagala White water rafting . You’ll love my place because of The homely atmosphere of the rooms at it is enhanced with the cheery spaces and provide a breath-taking view of the Green mountain fields and panoramic view.. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and big groups.

It is al lovely place with a awesome view. The staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. There was not much to do in the villa eco resort other then swimming.

Removed from the bustle of Kandy and nestled in a tea plantation, the octagon was built using sustainable methods by local craftsmen and sits in a secluded location for lovers of nature and tranquillity.
Conveniently situated close to ancient temples and jungle villages, we are only 45 minutes from Kandy.
Traditional Sri Lankan cuisine is prepared for guests by our resident chef.

The Octagon is a beautiful eight sided building, perched within the central highlands of Sri Lanka.
It overlooks its own private tea plantation, and is perfect for nature lovers and those seeking peace and quiet. A perfect spot for yoga, meditation, reading and writing.
Set in the midst of a tea plantation, the Octagon is surrounded by beautiful native wildflowers and the call of birdsong will simply take your breath away:)
For those seeking a place of seclusion (writers, artists, yogis, spiritualists or plain tea drinkers!) the Octagon is ideal.
For those of you seeking evening entertainment and bright lights this is not the place for you perhaps, unless you need somewhere to catch your breath.
Many guests have enjoy interesting dinner table conversations with Richard Murphy, well known Irish poet , who resides in his own cottage on the property. Richard has a host of interesting facts and stories about this beautiful Island. When Richard was a boy he was brought here by his father who acted as the last British Mayor of Colombo in 1935.
Ancient paths lead adventurous walkers and locals to nearby jungle villages, where you have the chance to interact with the friendly locals and catch a glimpse the 'real' Sri Lanka.
Close to The Octagon, one thousand year old temples lie waiting for you to explore alone as you will often find that you are the only tourist lucky enough to have stumbled upon this hidden treasure.
The wonderful botanical gardens of Peridinya are twenty minutes away. The origins of the Botanic Gardens date as far back as 1371 when King Wickramabahu III ascended the throne and kept court at Peradeniya near the Mahaweli river.
The bussling tourist centre of Kandy, with the famous Temple of the Tooth, is still within 45 minutes drive of our location. The city boasts luxury hotels and spas which are a pleasant stop-gap option en-route to The Octagon, your own rural heaven.
Guests have sole access to the Octagon, the surrounding tea plantation plus the all new swinging day bed set amidst the tea leaves:)
Meals are provided in the cottage below the Octagon at our guests discretion.
Guests have the luxury of their own quiet and very private space within and surrounding the Octagon.
My father and esteemed poet Richard Murphy is living below the Octagon and still has an abundance of enthusiasm and energy when it comes to welcoming guests to his Sri Lankan hideaway.
My manager Desmond Rodrigo, who lives next door, manages the Octogan.
His wife Naomi provides beautiful Sri Lankan food, which can be had either in the Octagon or in the main house.

The Octagon is set in a very remote location and provides the perfect destination for those looking to enjoy the 'real' Sri Lanka. This is a gorgeous structure, far from the beaten track, with views over the surrounding valley with farmland and wilderness for as far as the eye can see.
We are a forty minute drive from the centre of Kandy, tuktuks (local moot-taxis) are easily available.
The Octagon is close to many beautiful and rarely visited ancient temples, and is surrounded by native jungle villages, including one village totally devoted to drum-making.
There are several local buses and tuktuks which are freely available and can be booked in advance. Bicycles are also available for guests.
The wildlife and native landscape in this area has been relatively undisturbed for centuries. Valleys, rivers and mountains make up this pristine wilderness which awaits the more adventurous visitor to Sri Lanka.
In July, August or September visitors will have the novelty of experiencing what are known as the 'peraheras', which are local Buddhist festivals. They feature dancers, jugglers, fire-breathers and elephants and are a real must see at this time of year.

Hello fellow travelers. This was my first time using Airbnb. The Octagon was one of the most wonderful experiences I have ever had while traveling. Upon arriving I was truly shocked about how beautiful the place is, it is far more then the pictures can possibly reveal . The space is clean, vibrant, and uplifting. It was created with good intentions and with thought and care which shows in everything. The views from the Octagon are truly stunning. The Octagon has everything you may need and is placed so naturally amongst nature. It allowed for privacy, introspection, and the perfect place to read and write . Time flows beautifully in the space and at the end of nine days I could not believe how quickly the time went by. The space is incredibly magnetizing and peaceful . The food most importantly was so exceptional , the first time they served me lunch I was taken a back by the presentation and variety . The food was ,delicious, healthy, clean and sooo satisfying. I felt very blessed to have been able to eat such food and the resident chef is very talented. The hosts are all truly delightful. From before I arrived to the day I left they took great care in answering questions and were easy to communicate with and always responsive. I felt most comfortable and welcomed. I loved walking around the stone paths that surround the Octagon and observing the birds and all the variety of trees and flowers. The best part was getting to eat their fresh papayas from their trees ! Overall the Octagon was simply perfect for my needs and I wish I could have stayed for some more time. I am so happy to share my awesome experience and hope you enjoy the place also. And I am sure travelers with other needs who appreciate nature will also find the space delightful.

NInaOctober 2016

octagon is so far our highlight of Sri Lanka. we are already dreaming of going back to this peace of paradise. we were left speechless for the entire afternoon that we arrived -the space, the incredible landscape, the simplicity is beyond words beautiful. the food is by far the best that we have eaten on our trip and we wished we could have learnt from the master chef. it's a perfect place to come to meditate, relax, pursue artistic endeavour's, or just to read a book (bring your own!) we are eternally grateful for having this experience and the little farewell package for our long train ride, was the perfect touch. we can't recommend this place highly enough for those just wanting to escape the world.

MicaNovember 2016

The octagon is an incredibly special place. Hidden in the hills close to kandy this house overlooks stunning nature. You will have the whole octagon to yourself which is very large more like a tiny house than a room! It is very well designed with so much attention to detail. I love the way there are pots at the corners of the roof to collect the rain water. And two elephants standing guard outside the house. It is in the middle of an incredible garden of tea and other herbs that Naomi and Desmond use to cook. My partner and I have had the most special experience staying here. It has been a sanctuary. This peace haven away from the bustle of Sri Lanka is the perfect place to relax and read, write, learn about Sri Lankan cooking from Desmond and Naomi, or explore the near by temples in the mountains. We have explored three of these temples since we have been here as well as the drum village and can say that they are fantastically beautiful as well as off the tourist track so great places to go if you want something less busy. We have felt truly taken care of here and learnt a lot. The food has been impeccable as well as the care of our hosts. We also have had the opportunity to speak to Richard who is full of interesting stories about colonial times as well as his own fascinating life. It was a pleasure to meet and get to know all of our hosts at the octagon (including Desmond and Naomi's daughter, lovely sweet Amanda!) and we hope to come back again soon.

BellaNovember 2016

Our stay in The Octagon really was something special! The area is beautiful, the locals incredibly friendly (seemingly not at all used to seeing Westerners) and not a tout in sight! Desmond and Naomi took wonderful care of us, cooking delicious food and looking after of our every need. The Octagon itself is gorgeous, brilliantly designed and much more spacious than we'd imagined. Waking up to the sounds of nature and chanting monks is a wonderful start to the day. Incredible value for money. 10 days into our stay in Sri Lanka, this has certainly been our highlight so far! Highly recommended!

Amazing place to stay in Kandy. The room is nice and 5min walk to the city, would recommend tuktuk if you have luggage because it is very steep to walk to the house. Therese is a lovely host, a pleasure to stay in her uniqe home with a beautiful garden and two happy dogs. We wanted to stay one night longer but the room was unfortunately not available.

What a lovely time I had with Therese. The room was very simple but I found it very special to sit and chat at length with Therese, who is an inspiring woman. I also really enjoyed playing with and doing some English lessons with the kids that come to childcare/after school tuition with Therese. Oh, its a great location too, just a short walk to the center of town.

Green View guest house is just at the starting point in Adam's peak. This guest house has a great view and provide delicious food. The owner of the guest house is really helpful and provide an excellent service

This place was a very convenient location for walk to Adam's Peak, no question. Samantha is a great host. The room was big and bed was comfortable. The view was pretty nice from the balcony. However, the room does not muffle any sounds from the noisy street below or even the adjacent room. Bring your ear plugs! In my opinion, I think the room price was too expensive for what was offered.

room is very basic, its literally just a bed and bathroom. its clean and hygenic, however not cosy and warm, for example a led light on the ceiling etc. the host got a shop on the other side of the road which act as a 'reception'. there is wifi, not in the room which is annyoing. also the curtains were a joke, its basically just a piece of textile which is also annoying cause the lights on the balcony are bright and are on the whole night. be sure only stay there 1 night, not more.

The place is good. Very lean & clean. Just fits the prupose Samantha is really helpful especially in directing us on how to reach the place & the local intelligence with respect to if the night trek is safe or not. Wifi signal is weak in the rooms but I am sure the same would be rectified immediately :)

Clean room close to the departure point of Adam's Peak. But we had big trouble with the owner and the Airbnb reservation. He wasn't there to manage our reservation and we had to speak with him on the phone. He didn't accept the reservation on Airbnb but allowed us to come. In the morning he forgot to do it and wanted to call the police, BE VERY CAREFUL WITH YOUR RESERVATION !
